Some Thoughts suggested by this solemn In,
- 81 S ss q qniry. ~ E ES

= "
In an editorial, some weeks since, one
sentence reads thus: "Our belief is that
. our worlds history is near the end" The
DAILY (ColumbiGg RECoRp quotes that
sentence, and seems TO, think that'a great
many good people may be ea,unreasonably
disturbed by such declaration, aud that
they "would like to know what reasons we
have for entertaining such belief" To
this the editor of THE RECORD adds his
own wish that we "would give the public
the benefit of whatever information we
may have on the subject"
We do not profess to have more infOrma-
ton than others have or might obtain from
the Scriptures and the signs of the times
as predicted in the Scriptures The adj
vent of Christ will end the probation of
the world. We fix no hour, no day, nor
year. Only the study Of Gods word and
the drifting signs Of the times lead us to
tho belief that heworld is approaching an
unparalleled crisis Whether that crisis
will be the end Of the world or something
else time will show.
Some, persons teach that certain things
are yet to take place before the coming of
Christ, which things VIC are persuaded have
already taken place.
For instance; ASK of me, and shall
give thee the heathcn for thine Inheritance
and the uttcrmost parts of the earth for
thy possession" Ps. ii. s. This was Ger
tainly fulfilled in the coronation of the
Son, when all power was given unto him
in heaven aud in earth, In many parts of
the earth, not excluding parts Of "Christen-
dom," there rrc millions of people who
will not have this man to rule over them. -
Such are ighorantly or knowingly in rebel
lion against the King Of Kings.
Many will ask: sis not the gospel to be
preached in all the world before the end
comcs?" Has not this been done already?
At the time of the Pcntccost "there were
dwelling at Jerusalem devout mem out OF
every nation under heaven, who saw and
heard and understood the marvellous mani
testations of that occasion. Representa-
lively every nation then and there heard in
their own language all that the tongues oi
fire spake.
But there is Scripture more direct: "The
hope which is laid up for you in heaven
whereof ye heard before in the word oil
the truth of the gospel; which is como
unto you, as it as IN all tic qc0rld." Col. j.
5, 6. 'Be not moved away from the hope
of the gospel, which We have heard, and
3 20htch qCaS 2)redchGd TO eCerY creature qohicL
is Undcr heaccn." V. 90. "Maye they moi
heard? Yes, verify their sound went into
all the earth, and their words unto the end,
Of the arortd." Rom. X. 1S.
Ii we have correctly explained and ap
piled the Scriptures quOtcd-thc giving OF
the uttermost parts Of the earth to the Son
and the preaching of the gospel in all tho
World--then those events to which they
refer are not between the present genera
ton and the end of the world. Chi3Sti0a

FIGHTING FOR LIQUOR.
A Crowd of Young Hoodums Assault Sa-
loon-Keeper and Break Into His Place.

There is gang of young men il the southern
part of the city that have been giving the police
much trouble for several months Several OF
them have been arrested for minor offenses, and
have been released only to become holder. Last
evening they returned from playing ball in the
southern part of the city, about o'clock, and
went to John Krupp's South Meridian street sa-
loon and demanded admitance. He would not
open the door, ant from there they went to the
place of John Miller, No. 351 South Delaware
street and demanded some beer Mr.. Miller told
them he could not cell on Sunday. They fol-
lowed him through his ward to the rear door and
told him if he did not an the door they would
break it III. He stl refused, and they as
saulted him with clubs and rocks. Several
friends in the house came to Miller's assistance
and there was pitched battle. The roughs
knocked Miller down and burst in the door. On
the inside, they found Michael Fuchs. and dealt
him blow on the head that knocked him sense
less. By this time. Miller had got up, and,
drawing his revolver, fired two shots. without
hitting any of the roughs. That frightened
them, and they left. Both Miller and Fuchs
were badly hurt, the latter seriously that
medical aid had to be called. The officers were
investigating the affair last night. and think they
will probably be able to find the men who made
the assault

DAMAGE BY DUST.
Some Startling Figures Showing the Injury
to Clothing and Furniture by the Dust

Some Startling Figures Showing the Injury
to Clothing and Furniture by the Dust.
st. Louis Post Dispatch.
Since the petitions have gone out among the
households of the city there have been many in
quiries as to how much is lost to the city every
furniture. 1t will be of interest to such persons
to know that as far back as 1878, Colonel Flad,
president of the Board of Public Improvements,
made an estimate of the damage thus incurred.
Yesterday he ransacked his old papers and found
the figures of that time, which now take on
peculiar and deep significance. Colonel Flad
placed the number of householders at
that time at seventy thousand, and esti-
mated the damage to them alone. TAX
ing the low figure of $50 worth Of clothing
for each householder. the volume of all the
clothing would be SO, 500. 900. The damage could
not be less than 10 per cent, which would be
$3.50, 900 on wearing apparel in active USE The
damage to the clothing in stores and in ware
houses, and the damage TO furniture would easily
make another $3.50 900, making total IF 500, 600.
These figures are for ten years ago. An estimate
of the damage at the present time, figuring the
householders as having increased in the decade to
100 000 and taking Col. Flads percentage of loss,
would present the following startling facts:
Number of householders 100 900
Value of clothing at $500 householder SIS 600 900
Damage at 10 per cent OF whole 100000
Damage to clothing at stores and
houses and to furniture, at 10 per cent. 500 600
Total damage ST., 600, 900
These figures are simply for the edifcation of
the householders of the city. The general pub
lie can figure out how much more than a million
dollars would be the damage if the clothing of
the 400, 900 inhabitants of st. Louis were taken
into consideration. If there be any economical
member in either house of the Assembly, let
him gaze these figures and think how the in
vestment of $3.50, 900 or 5000 600 would save the
city three or four millions of dollars simply in
the matter Of wearing apparel and furniture
Colonel Flads thoughtful attention to this as
pect of the nuisance puts new phase on the
case.
Now the members of the Assembly will plainly
have to choose between putting $500. 900 into the
pockets of sprinklng contractors and taking
millions out of the purses of citizens, and saving
every wearer of clothes 10 per cent of their
value.
